Statement of Faith

1. We believe the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament Scripture are alone the written, inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God.

2. We believe in one God who is Creator of heaven and earth, who is infinite, eternal, unchanging, all powerful, all knowing, almighty, just, and holy; and that the triune God eternally exists in one essence and three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe in Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity, the Eternal Word manifested in the flesh. We believe that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and that He is true God and true man, having two distinct natures co-joined in one Person.

4. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of every human being and thus offers salvation as a free gift based not on what we can do, but what he has done for us.


5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended into heaven in the same glorified physical body in which He arose, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.


6. We believe that the Holy Spirit, is the Third Person of the Godhead. By the Spirit, believers are saved, guided into truth, and empowered to live godly lives.

7. We believe in the eternal security and everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the eternal conscious punishment of the lost.

8. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted only two ordinances: water baptism and the Lord's Supper, to be observed until He comes. We believe that water baptism is not necessary for salvation but that it is an outward symbol of salvation and a sign of our obedience to Him.

9. We believe that the universal Church of Jesus Christ is composed of those who have been redeemed and washed in His blood, regenerated and sealed by the Holy Spirit, and that they are saved from the very penalty of sin (justification), being saved from the power of sin (Sanctification), and will ultimately be saved from the very presence of sin (Glorification).

10. We believe that there is a personal devil, a being of great cunning and power, who is "the prince and the power of the air," "the prince of this world," and "the god of this age." We believe that he can exert vast power but only as far as God permits him to do so; he shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone and shall be tormented day and night forever.
